Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved failover recovery so Path B connectivity and routing are restored reliably after faults.
    • Added route verification during benchmark and stress-test setup to detect missing network paths earlier.
    • Updated recovery handling so route restoration errors are reported without stopping the full test run.
  • New Features

    • Stress tests now run 100 cycles by default, with the cycle count configurable through NUM_CYCLES.

The stress topology reached the server (Path A's subnet) from Path B only
via the kernel's assume-on-link fallback, which is exactly what the FIB
route gate (8ee2267) rejects on re-add — B never returned after its first
fault and every later A fault hit the last active path. Use the same
via-route as ci_e2e/ci_bench, restore it on B recovery, assert at setup.
…rs it

Same gap as the stress harness: the link down at t=55 flushes the client's
via-route to the server, so under the FIB route gate Path B is never
re-added at t=75 and TTR B is always None while the 75-100s window
measures Path A alone. Assert the route at setup with the gate's own
fibmatch query.
…re it on recovery

bench_setup_netns leaves routes to the caller; without the /32 via Path B
the client's re-add gate never brings B back after `-p b`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add Path B route helpers and FIB verification to CI benchmark and stress namespaces. Failover scripts restore routes after Path B faults. The benchmark also restores a /32 server host route. Stress runs accept a configurable cycle count.

Changes

Path B route recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Benchmark host-route setup and recovery
benchmarks/bench_failover.sh
The benchmark adds a /32 server route through Path B during setup and replaces it during Path B recovery.
CI benchmark route helper and recovery
scripts/ci_benchmarks/ci_bench_env.sh, scripts/ci_benchmarks/ci_bench_failover.sh
The environment defines Path B route constants, installs and verifies the FIB route, and restores the route during recovery.
CI stress route helper and recovery
scripts/ci_stress/ci_stress_env.sh, scripts/ci_stress/ci_stress_failover.sh
The stress environment installs and verifies the Path B route. Recovery restores it after Path B faults, and NUM_CYCLES can be overridden through the environment.

The stress failover cycle count is now configurable, but invalid inputs can skip testing or produce unexpected execution behavior. Validate it as a positive decimal integer before running the loop.

Validate NUM_CYCLES as a positive integer before the loop.

NUM_CYCLES=0, a negative value, or an empty value runs zero cycles. An identifier such as foo aborts under set -u, while expressions such as 1+1 are accepted. Reject all values except positive decimal integers before line 92.
